Media and technology play a big role in shaping our beliefs and values. However, they can also lead to some problems:

1. Loss of Traditional Values:

   • When we are exposed to many different cultures quickly, it can weaken our local traditions.
   • For instance, globalization makes buying things more important than taking care of our environment.

2. Sharing Misinformation:

   • Social media often spreads false information.
   • This can confuse people and may lead to arguments or misunderstandings.

3. Less Face-to-Face Interaction:

   • Spending more time on screens means we talk less in person.
   • This makes it harder for us to connect with others and understand how they feel.

To tackle these issues, we can:

• Teach Media Literacy: Helping people learn how to think critically about information can reduce the effects of misinformation.
• Encourage Community Involvement: Local programs can help people come together and celebrate their own cultures.
• Set Limits on Technology: Reducing screen time allows us to build real relationships and support traditional values.

By getting involved in our cultural stories, we can lessen some of these negative impacts.
